khman Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Too many visa hassle, impossible to stay here nicely if you are not over 50, or if you don't take the Thai Elite visa. Also here prices increases, and euro goes down, down, down. I like a lot Thailand and will miss. Some things better, some things worst in south of Europe. I will come back later maybe. I enjoyed a lot here. Thanks all Thais and all forum members. I wish you success and happiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loptr Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 South of Europe, you mean Greece, Turkey, Spain, Italy? Good luck with that, but IMO this is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire... Good luck to you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khman Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I go Lisboa or south of portugal I am aware a few things are better there, and some are worst. I accept this. I hope overall it will be ok. What matters me the most is : - peace of mind regarding laws and visa - sunny, safe, and not too ugly landscape - prices/expenses not too high I already experienced spain, it was OK. But I think Portugal more beautiful, more sunny and maybe a bit cheaper. My income is small, I have a company in europe that sends me a flat 1500 euros net per month. I am here with my wife (falang).

PattayaPhom Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This is just a start, many Europeans feeling the pinch but just remember the past 6 years while Sterling US$ AUS$ have all taken poundings the Euro has more or less been unscathed so now I suppose its your turn....just don't go blaming Thailand for the woes of Merkel and her ilke, its their actions making it difficult for you here financially.

Try a little further south perhaps, MADEIRA, still Portugal. My wife - thai - says it has all the good of Europe and Thailand combined, without the bad. And not expensive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siam2007 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 while Madeira is an incredible nice place (and due to its location for sure a "get away from it all" - retreat), mainland Portugal has lovely spots too and might be significantly cheaper as things do not have to be brought in by Air......
